Tech recruiter here. Firms on average are more dishonest than jobseekers. The reason is simple: If you do something often enough, you get sloppy. For instance, if you start going to the gym, at first, your exercise execution is perfect but

Tech recruiter here. What you are saying fits neatly with my observation that during a bull market the specialists tend to do great, amazing compensation, lots of contracting options. When the market turns these are the first to be downsize

Tech recruiter here. Choose to work in a domain you are familiar with. If you have been an accountant, try to find an accountant software vendor who will hire you. It won't be easy though. Ageism is my pet peeve. I think it is one of t

Technical recruiter here. This is what I tell candidates: If you like more people, do the team lead track, if you like more coding, to the tech lead, technical track.

Tech recruiter here from Switzerland. Most non-competes that I saw are invalid because they contradict with local laws. Firms put them anyway to scare candidates. In reality, they never hold. I made even a video about it to calm down applic

Tech recruiter here. The biggest issue is that people are random and often lie.

Hiring is worse. Frameworks/programming languages at last have some logic to it. JavaScript is good for web, C good for hardware; humans are just random!

I will try to answer: >1. Why there is no consistency for hiring? Because there is no consistency in humans. Jobseekers lie to me all the time, so do companies. >2. Why companies have to be so different in assessing values ? Because c

Tech recruiter from Switzerland here. YCombinator funds startups, and startups need scale. Hiring is very personal, very hard to automate and scale. Often, tech hiring startups start in a creative way but later become a database of profiles

I just checked: On Linkedin it is indeed optional but they made it look like they force you ( https://imgur.com/a/0wdI3Wy ) I almost always see the dates with a month. CVs are primarily consumed by people who hire people

European tech recruiter here (again). If I want to discriminate against you, I will anyway do so latest during the onsite. I often have to skim through 200 CVs in a day and do >10 calls. I find it very convenient to have a face attached

Indeed in Switzerland the taxes and living costs are lower than in SF/Nyc; hence, you are more likely to become a millionaire with a tech job here than almost anywhere else. If Switzerland is an option, ping me. I am a well-connected t
